Time for Labour to shrug off polling tyranny?

Appearance rules. That's how Brown's first 100 days were summed up by yours truly in Chartist's September/October 2007 edition. The risks are analysed today here by Simon Jenkins in the Guardian:
Brown and Cameron are also vulnerable. They have allowed the buffer institutions of democracy to atrophy. Their party members have been pushed below the salt, and blind - or at least Melbournian - loyalty has gone too.
I'd been plugging an awakening for Conference. Wrong. Jenkins just speculates about who will be the next victim.
I'm hoping those advising Mr Brown have got a fix on that Hayden Phillips Inquiry and seen the light - a principled funding policy beckons as the first step to rebuilding the Party - a buffer institution of our democracy.
